We have a lot of exciting projects in the works – including enthusiastic teams of volunteers to help us shape the future of ACA.

Literature Evaluation Subcommittee

The new Literature Evaluation Subcommittee is now formed and in action. The team establishes small ad hoc review groups of 2-3 members to review various literature submissions. They meet regularly via teleconference. They meet every two months, and their next meeting is scheduled for August.

We plan on holding a volunteer orientation meeting on Saturday, July 29 from 12:00 – 1:00 pm EST via teleconference. To participate in this call:

The special annual ABC 2017 issue is nearly complete, and will be available in July. The 3rd quarter 2017 issue is still in production, and will be available in July or August.

We are currently accepting submissions for the 4rd quarter 2017 ComLine; submissions are due by August 1, 2017. The themes for the 4th quarter are Steps and Traditions, 10, 11 and 12. We look for personal stories of experience, strength, and hope. Remember, we are also looking for poetry and artwork!

The Spanish for Spain BRB e-book is in review and preproduction. We anticipate offering it as an e-book and print book by September 2017.

Production of Russian BRB is with Russia for completion and distribution.

All tri-folds and booklets offered for sale in the shopping cart are translated to Danish, Spanish, Finnish, and Russian. Finnish is currently in preproduction; Spanish trifolds are in the vetting process prior to upload.
